Throttling Mode Closed Loop
Open Loop
Open Loop does not rely on a thermal sensor on the
board and sets up a static level which equates in a
fixed bandwidth. Closed Loop will allow the system to
achieve higher performance by monitoring system
temps and adjusting bandwidth.
When CLTT
fails, Throttling
Mode defaults to
OLTT. Profile is
Performance for
OLTT.
Altitude 300m or less
301m-900m
Higher than 900m
[300m or less] (980ft or less)
Optimal performance setting near sea level.
[301m - 900m] (980ft - 2950ft)
Optimal performance setting at moderate elevation.
[Higher than 900m] (Higher than 2950ft)
Optimal performance setting at high elevation.
Available only if
CLTT failed and
running in OLTT
throttling mode.
5.2.3.3 Security Screen
The Security screen provides fields to enable and set the user and administrative password and
to lock out the front panel buttons so they cannot be used.
To access this screen from the Main screen, choose Security.
